Hi.

Welcome to my lifestyle blog. I document my adventures in DIY, interior design, entertaining, and fashion all while sharing little tidbits of my life along the way. Thanks so much for following along. It seriously means the world to me!

Look at those tender fall off the bone short ribs. Don't they just make you want to stick your face in that cast iron casserole? So why should you use beer to braise meat? The beer braising process makes the flavors of the meat more pronounced and rustic. The rule of thumb is the stronger the beer, the more flavorful the liquid. Since the flavors + notes of the beer will obviously seep into the short ribs, make sure to only use beers that you like. I paired the short ribs with root vegetables because they are in season right now ... think turnips, carrots, parsnips, etc. I love root veggies. The flavors are so rich and earthy. And bonus: they are super healthy for you. Aren't we all thinking about how we can eat more healthily in the new year? These dutch oven short ribs are delicious by themselves or on top of some creamy mashed potatoes. Yum. It's up to you how much liquid you want to serve. But I definitely recommend some yummy soft bread for dipping on the side.

This Beer Braised Short Ribs + Root Veggies recipe makes a great Superbowl party food idea or gameday recipe. After you shred the meat and discard the bones + fat, set it on warm + your guests can have at it as they may. Since the short ribs are braised in beer, they will go great with the beers you are serving at your Superbowl party. Holla! Although these are dutch oven short ribs, these can also be slow cooker short ribs. The recipe is the same. Just throw everything in your slow cooker and set it to low. Simmer for several hours. If you try these beer braised short ribs please let me know what you think! I'd love to hear. If you are looking for some more short rib recipes, check out my Slow Cooker Chipotle Short Rib Tacos. They are delish. Again, this is my latest for KitchenAid, so check out the Kitchenthusiast for my Beer Braised Short Ribs full recipe + instructions. And here are all of my posts for KitchenAid.
